GENERAL LOGAN'S TOMB.
The Regular Army Guard Causing#0
siderable Annoyance.

A volunteer squad of the regular army
has guarded General Logan's remains ever
since they were placed in the vault in Rock
Creek Cemetery. One night recently, when
DR.. Buck, the venerable rector of the ancient
church with which the cemetery is con-
nected, sought to pass through the grounds
he was challenged by the guard, and was so
much annoyed by them that he said he
would have the soldiers kept out Of the
cemetery He has complained that they
have desecrated it. by playing cards there
and other unseemiy conduct, aud so there
should be no guard around the vault. 1t is
in this vault that the remains of General
Logan were placed on December 81. 1886, to
STAY until the State of Illinois is ready to
receive the body. When Mrs. Logan heard
of the proposal to remove the guard she was
deeply grieved, and said if the guard were
removed, the coffin with her late husbands
body in it should be brought to her own
home, Calumet Place, there to stay in what
is to be a memorial hall to her late husband
until inferred finally in Illinois. Of course,
her friends do not wish this to be done, as it
would be a constant revival of Mrs. LOgan's
grief to have her husbands coffin always in
sight. An effort is being made to induce the
vestry of Rock Creek parish to let the guard
remain in the cemetery, DR.. Bucks wishes
to the contrary notwithstanding. DR.. BUCK 8

cemetery, which last is the yard of the

bell rang out the news that independence
had been declared. Pictures of the
building generally represent it as having
a high steeple; this, however, had de-
cayed, and was taken down in IVA. A
plain belfry was erected in it's stead, and
the cut accompanying this article gives
faithful picture of the building as 1t
looked when the convention of 1877 met.
Times were very different then from
what they are now. The country was
only one-ffth of it's present size, and OF
that only about one-tifth was settled.
The Mississippi river was the Western
boundary and the only seaboard was the
Atlantic, the territory on the Cult OF
Mexico as we'll as that west of the
Mississippi belonging to Spain. Although
hardy pioneers were already pouring
into the valleys of the Ohio and Ten
nessee rivers, laying the foundations OF
great States, the Eastern gentry
who controlled politics gave little
thought to the Western expansion OF
the country. General Washington him.
self seems to have thought very little OF
the navigation of the Mississippi, which
the Western pioneers were already clam
orous to have relieved of Spanish inter
ference. His idea was to develop lines
of communication from the seacoast to
the interior, and it was with this in view
that he got up the Potomac Com
pany, to build a canal along the
Potomac river from tidewater ito
the most convenient Western waters.
The States of Maryland and Nir-
ginia were induced to give their aid TO
the scheme, and Washington became
president of the company. This was the
beginning of the present Chesapeake
and Ohio canal, extending from George
town, D. c., to Cumberland, Md. Both
States lost money by the enterprise,
which never reached 1.-The Western
waters" and at the present time is hardly
able to pay current expenses The I'M
dertaking was, however, a most fortu-
nate circumstance for the nation, as 1t
brought Virginia and Maryland into
peculiarly close relations, so that while
other States were at enmity and New
Jersey, New York and Connecticut were
levying vindictive imposts and duties on
one another's trade, the two States,
parted by the Potomac, started a move
ment that led to the establishment OF
the nation.
In 1855 commissioners from Maryland
and Virginia met at Alexandria to frame
St. Landry democrat., 1887-07-09

teal neces stiles by the united action of
the States grouped around Chesapeake
bay. The Legislature of Virginia gave
the movement a national scope by pro-
posing that the other States should be
invited to send commissioners also to
take into consideration uniform system
of commercial regulations To this,
however, Maryland would not agree, for
fear that it would weaken the authority
of Congress and tend to procrastinate
the collection of the revenues due
the Federal government. Maryland
was, therefore, not represented at
thu convention that met at its
own capital city, Annapolis, September
II, 1886, but delegates were present from
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Delaware and Virginia. They renamed
in session three days, and came to the
conclusion that 1.-The power OF regulat-
inc trade is of such comprehensive eX-
tent that to give it efficacy may require
a correspondent adjustment of other
ports of the Federal system" They,
therefore, recommended that another
conference be held at Philadelphia on
the second Monday of May, 1887, to
which all the States should be requested
TO SEM commissioners.
Congress was at that time really a
diplomatic body; its members came to-
gether not as representatives or the
people, but as the ENJOYS OF the states,
and votes were taken by States, each
| delegation having one vote. The fed.
eral government was a mere agency OF
| the States, with no authority OF Its own
and no direct relations TO the people. 1t
was dependent on State appropriations
| for its revenues that were always In ar
rear, so that it was without credit anu
overwhelmed by debt. 1t had no power
| to lay imposts or duties, and its efforts TO
negotiate commercial treaties with tor
eign nations were treated with contempt.
| The Younger Pitt boosted that he had re-
conquered the colonies as commercial de-
Tendencies, their trade being more com
/ pletelv in the hands of England than be
| fore The republic was regarded abroad
much as the Central American republics
are now and it's flag commanded no re-
| spect A single large State could at any
| time block the operations OF the Federal
government. Maryland forced the ces--
sion of Western lands to the Federal
government by refusing to assent to the
articles of confederation until this
was done In 1886 New Jersey
refused to pay its quota for tn?
support of the government and II
was felt that the confederation was
breaking up. Efforts TO persuade the
| States to allow Congress to impose a
duty on imports had failed. Meanwhile

was to get things done and was supple as

got them to come to Mount Vernon and
transact their business there. When the
Maryland Legislature came to ratity the
compact, resolutions were passed to the
effect that valuations of foreign coin,
regulations in regard to bills of exchange
and duties upon imports and exports
should be the same for the two States.
Another conference to that end
was proposed and Delaware and
PENNSYLVANIA were invited to join.

ment than an attempt to meet some prac-

trait was amusingly illustrated the other

a few weeks later it was sent to the market

why he gave up the machine, the banker

covered the fine Italian hand of plagiarism

that the committee had Indispensable evil

When father hired a new man,
And he was the one of my dreams.

And how no girl should despair
Because she has no beau.
